day 4? - european trip
Guess I better back it up some:
|'ve been in europe for the last few days. Starting Monday the 27th of May.
27 May 05 - 5am - 11 pm travel from chicago to england, first class.
boy, first class sure is nice
28 May 05 - 29 May 05: hung out with Norbert and Tanja in England. Saw
Les Mis, The buckingham palace, Thems, Big Ben, and Trafalgar sqaure.
We stayed in between Lester Square and Piccadilly Circuse. I think my
favorite british food is a black currant tart.
Ate at the Square, one of the top restaurants in town. Had lunch in a
boat on the river.
30 May - 31 May - we are in Austria, about to drive off to Hungary.
Vienna was great - walked around for about 7 hours yesterday, ate at
the #1 restaurant in town, now forgot the name, and then had Saher
Torte at teh Saher cafe.
I had coffee at the Ferstl Castle in Austria yesterday (by accident).
Let's see... it's pretty big - takes up a city block, and has 3
restaurants (including the very famous Central Cafe, that was
frequented by the Illuminati, Freud, and a variety of other people
that were historically important) and a mall in it, as well as I don't
know what upstairs. They gave me a fact sheet about the castle, but I
haven't chanced to read it yet. Austria retained its stronghold as my
second favorite country in Europe.
If you wanna see the castle... pix for that part of my day are not up
yet, but they will be like tomorrow.

Good bye sheep's curds, hello duck gizzards and pig innards - on on, to Hungary!
